Aww thank you all for all the nice replies. And as for RainbowPrincess..im allowed to 'beg' (as you so elequantly like to put it) Maybe I wouldnt have taken it into offense if you didnt put it in SUCH a mean way. Ahem, to quote: "Good story, but begging for reviews is SO unattractive." Well you know what? SOME PEOPLE DONT REVIEW! You dont freaking review, I dont freaking write. I write this story to get POSITIVE feedback and any CONSTRUCTIVE critisism to make me a better writer. Its not like im selling this as a book and get money back. I DONT. I do this because I love to write, and its nice when someone tells you its a good job. I dont ask for much. All I ask for is reviews. And hey, however 'unattractive' it is, it seems to work because I have a hell of alot of reviews. I dont care how it looks, I want reviews so I ASK people for them. What the hell is wrong with that? I'm sorry but im angry. It would be fine to give me constructive critisism on something with my writing but about begging for reviews? what the fuck? what in the hell does that have to do with my writing? Anyways I dont have to deal with this. If you dont want to read me 'begging' for reviews then dont read the story. I dont care. I have a lot more readers then you.

So for everyone else who doesnt care that I beg this is for you...

Thank you for reviewing. Can you please review more? 10 would be nice, or I AM NOT WRITING. Hows that? Better? I didnt 'beg unattractively'.

*smiles* now that thats settled please reply. Thank you for reading.

PS: Please read my other story 'Remember me'. It's new and I would love some reviews. (not begging still) so please come check it out! I think you'll like! (its the story I was talking about)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Lizzie McGuire or anybody. I own only Kara. She is my own character but if you wanna use her fine. I dont give a damn (sorry im in a bad mood now)

Unexpected Love chapter 9: Butterflies

*********************************************************

The rain started pouring. Everything was bleak and grey. The wind whistled around, and the rain pounded against the window. Lizzie was sitting in the backseat of her dad's old Ford. She looked around with a sigh. She muttered a slight thanks and clambered out of the car, waving slightly as her dad sped away, late for an important meeting. Lizzie slumped her shoulders down and trudged up the sidewalk in the pouring rain to her door. She opened it slowly, slamming it behind her and shaking her head around like a wet dog. She was completely drenched.

What was a nice day, turned out to be a completely crappy one. Funny, it seemed to match Lizzie's dreary mood.

Ethan hated her now, Gordo..Gordo loved Kara...Lizzie was feeling like a complete brat **you are one** inner voice Lizzie said.

Oh, shut the hell up. I know.

Lizzie rolled her eyes, and climbed up the stairs slowly.

She squeezed the water out of her hair, into the sink, and grabbed a towel rubbing it on her head. As she got undressed, and then dressed into dry clothes Lizzie thought about her situation with Gordo. What seemed so simple and easy before, now felt so complicated.

She could barely be in the same room with him without wanting to kiss him.

But why did she never think about kissing Ethan? Maybe because she had done it before. She had kissed Ethan many times...in many different ways. He was a good kisser and made Lizzie melt, but still she never thought about kissing him, and the thought never gave her butterflies, like it did thinking of kissing Gordo. But then again, kissing Ethan still gave Lizzie butterflies.

Oh, Im so confused. Lizzie thought

**Maybe you wouldnt be so confused if you hadn't kissed Gordo on the cheek Lizzie**

Why had she done that?

**Because you love Gordo**

I do not...well...maybe. Oh, I dont know.

**Yes you do, you love him**

Oh SHUT UP! BE QUIET! I DONT KNOW!

Lizzie was on the verge of tears and not for the first time that day.

Just then a sharp ring was heard, causing Lizzie to jump.

She breathed a sigh of relief. It was only the phone.

But what if it was Gordo?!??!?! Or Ethan?!!??!?!

"Hello? she answered quietly. Curiosity always got the best of her.

"Hey chica. How's it hangin'?"

It was Miranda. Thank god.

"Miranda! Hi! Great it's you!"

"uh, yah! who else would it be?"

"I dunno..umm..dont know.."

"Well, anyways why did you dissapear at lunch. I had to eat with *shudder* Parker Mckenzie. Oh that girl..she's just...weird."

"I well..looked for Ethan he was making out with Kara behind the field."

"Oh my god Lizzie. Are you okay?"

"Yeah..yeah I'm fine. Just a little shook up from it all. Gordo helped me to make him jealous at the field though *giggle* we did this thing where he took pictures of me while the guys practiced basketball. Ethan was soooo jealous. It was funny because he's like a really good actor. It really looked like he was in love with me."

There was silence.

"Oh." said Miranda, thoughtfully.

"What?" Lizzie asked defensively. "What is it? Your not going to rag on me again for hurting Kara's feelings are you?!"

"No..no of course not."

"What then?"

"Well...Lizzie...have you ever, you know, thought of Gordo in that way?"

"In what way?"

"A girl/guy way. You know."

"No I don't know. How? Hes a guy..im a girl."

"Yeah..."

"...I seriously, dont know Miranda."

"Lizzie you are SO clueless! I mean as a like-like way.."

"A like-like way...ohhhh...ohhhh...OH! OH OH OH!"

"Yeah."

"Miranda! Don't ask me that!"

"Well do you?" she demanded.

"No! Well..yes..well...I don't know!"

"Do you ever think of him like that?"

"Sometimes."

"Do you like him?"

"I told you! I don't know! I'm so confused."

"Well you should seriously find out Liz. He might like someone else, or go out with someone else. And you could find out too late and never be with him."

"I know, I know."

"Well figure it out soon."

"Im trying."

"Well try harder!"

"Miranda what is your point? What are you trying to say?!"

"All im saying." Miranda continued. "Is maybe consider Gordo opposed to Ethan. You never know, you could be missing your soulmate."

Lizzie snorted. "You know I dont believe in that stuff."

"Whatever Lizzie. Just think about it. I gotta go. Later girl."

"Bye."

Click.

Maybe there was such a thing as soulmates... but how did she know with her and Gordo? How could she figure it out?

******************************************

Lizzie sat on her beige soft couch flipping channels.

Golf. Noo....

News...yuck

Kiddie show...juvenile

western move...stupid

more news...ugh not again

shopping channel...no money

tv talk show..nah..

Wait. A tv talk show? Lizzie turned it back. If there's nothing on these shows are really amusing. Hmm wonder whats on today? My sister is an alien from out of space? Helped, i'm a woman trapped in a man's body, Just to let you know I slept with your cousin???

"Hello." the woman on tv said with a cheesy smile. "Today our topic is true love and soulmates." Hmmm interesting.

"Lets bring out our first guest. Christine O' Brien and Micheal Mallard. Welcome to the show."

"Thanks Joanna." a pretty redhead smiled, sitting down while holding hands with a hunky blonde guy that kind of looked like Brad Pitt. Oooh.

"So I understand you two have known each other all your lives?"

"Yeah." the girl started. "We were friends ever since we were babies, and actually best friends until our last year of middle school. Then we kind of realized we were perfect for each other and went out. We've been together EVER since!"

"Thats amazing..you were best friends?"

"Yeah, we told each other everything!"

"Yes, best friends then lovers are usually statistically the most successful marriages."

Lizzie gaped. Best friends? Just like her and Gordo! Ahh!

Just then the phone rang again causing Lizzie to jump.

Damn phone, she thought flipping the mute button on.

She answered the phone breathlessly.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hey Liz-zay!! It is the Ethanmeister!"

"Hey Ethanmeister..I mean Ethan. Hi."

"Can I meet you?"

"Sure..I guess."

"How about at the Digital Be-eean. How about at seven thi-iirteh!"

"Umm I guess."

"Great. Catch ya on the flipside hottie extrordinaire."

He hung up.

Oh god, now Lizzie had to meet Ethan. What would she wear?!!?!?!

***************************************************

Lizzie walked into the digital bean looking around nervously. She tugged on the stretchy fabric of her black nylon long-sleeved shirt that had silver sparkles on the front. Her white black capris with silver lines up the sides, went well with the shirt and Lizzie looked very cute.

Where was he? Ethan had a tendency to show up at an unexpected time.

All of a sudden, someone grabbed Lizzie by the waist. Gordo?!

She spun around to see Ethan grinning at her.

Oh it was just Ethan.

Just Ethan? Wait a minute! This wasnt *Just* Ethan it was *The* Ethan. The guy she had a crush on for like, ever. Remember Lizzie?! she was so dumb.

"Hi." she said crossing her arms, over her chest, ice-ly. She was mad at him.

"Oh come on Lizzay! Why you gotta be like that?!" he asked.

She stamped over to a table and sat down with her arms over her chest again.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked.

"Yes." she muttered angrily.

"Listen, I'm like totally sorry. I was being a stupid kid. I didn't wanna hurt Kara's feelin's so I kinda let her push me into makin' out wit her. Im sorry."

Lizzie sighed looking into his big beautiful blue eyes. Those teeth, that hair, that FACE! AH!

"Okay." she smiled. "I forgive you."

"Yes!" Ethan exclaimed. "Thank you baby. Im real sorry you know?"

"I know." Lizzie smiled. "But what about Kara? When are you gonna break up with her?"

"I got it all planned out Lizzay." he sat back in his chair, a smug smile on his face. "Kates having a party on Friday (its wednesday now) Come to it and like, we'll dump our dates there. Aiight?!"

"Okay." she smiled.

He looked around the room, obviously making sure no one was watching. Then he leaned over softly kissing her.

"Bye baby doll, see yah tomo-rraw!"

He strutted out of the room, leaving Lizzie to sigh after him. He was so hot.

Lizzie decided to order herself a drink so she walked over to the counter and ordered a strawberry smoothie. She looked to her left and saw Gordo and Kara, sitting, facing the other way in a small corner. Gordo's arm was on the back of her chair. Kara was biting her lip, smiling and applying lipgloss. He was grinning at her and they were talking closely.

What the hell.

What the freaking hell?!?!

**Its your own fault. You should have taken Miranda's advice**

Lizzie grabbed the drink and paid exact change.

She was so jealous. Urghhh....

There was nothing she could do but watch in amazement. But she didn't even wanna do that anymore.

She didn't want to see them be all lovey-dovey.

It was time to go home and sleep. She would deal with this later.

**********************************************

Hope you guys liked the chapter. Please remember to reply.

I'll write more when I get 10 as usual.

The next chapter will be about a nightmare that Lizze has. She also lets Gordo know about the party. What will he think of it?
